Margot at the Wedding movie - See How We Are lyrics
rate me<br>
There are men lost in jail<br>
Crowded fifty to a room<br>
There's too many rats in this cage of the world<br>
And the women know their place<br>
They sit home and write letters<br>
And when they visit once a year<br>
Well they both just sit there and stare<br>
See how we are<br>
Gotta keep bars in between us<br>
See how we are<br>
We only sing about it once in every twenty years<br>
See how we are<br>
Oh see how we are<br>
Now there are seven kinds of Coke<br>
500 kinds of cigarettes<br>
This freedom of choice in the USA drives everybody crazy<br>
But in Acapulco<br>
Well they don't give a damn<br>
About kids selling Chiclets with no shoes on their feet<br>
See how we are<br>
"Hey man, Whats in it for me?"<br>
See how we are<br>
We only sing about it once in every twenty years<br>
See how we are<br>
Oh see how we are<br>
Now that highway's coming through<br>
So you all gotta move<br>
This bottom rung ain't no fun at all<br>
No fires and rockhouses and grape-flavored rat poison<br>
They are the new trinity<br>
For this so-called community<br>
See how we are<br>
Gotta keep bars on all of our windows<br>
See how we are<br>
We only sing about it once in every twenty years<br>
See how we are<br>
Oh see how we are<br>
Well this morning the alarm rang at noon<br>
And I'm trying to write this letter to you<br>
About how much I care and why I just can't be there<br>
To draw your bath and comb...and comb your hair<br>
Last night in a nightspot<br>
Where things aren't so hot<br>
My friend said, "I met a boy and I'm in love"<br>
I said, "Oh really... What's this one's name?"<br>
She said, "His first name is Homeboy"<br>
I said "Could his last name be Trouble?"<br>
See how we are<br>
Ah Homeboy... Isn't that a Mexican name?<br>
See how we are<br>
We only sing about it once in every twenty years<br>
See how we are<br>
Oh see how we are<br>
Yeah see how we are <br>
<br>
